Solved! Success!
Many thanks, Mike for the suggestion of running ls -l. One of the JMRI forum members pointed out that I was trying to manipulate a disk image, not the application. And of course you can not manipulate a disk image. Everything fell into place after that.
Other Mac users who don't use your Macs frequently, please learn from my mistake. Look for simple answers first. Don't resort to extremes. Try not to jump to conclusions. I assumed there was something wrong with my OS, since I couldn't delete the file. I even tried to enable root user, always a no-no. Print out the path and file name for members of the forum to examine.
Thanks again, everyone.
Tom
